I’ve included these since I think dogs should be allowed treats every so often since it helps to create a nice bond between the pet and owner. However, I ask you to take caution in what you feed your dog and possibly contact your vet before you use any of these recipes. If your dog has a heart condition of any sort, please make sure you limit the high fat recipes to every once in a blue moon, if you must use them. Otherwise, please make sure you make the treats relatively mild since dogs can have sensitive stomachs and the last thing you probably want is your doggie treats all over your new rug. In the same vein, if your dog is known to have a sensitive stomach, you’re best to go with store bought doggie treats (as they’re made for all kinds of dogs and well tested) or ones that are incredibly mild. Remember, dogs aren’t people- they require special attention and special care. Take good care of your dogs and they’ll be your faithful companions for years to come.

2 brownie pans, prepared as directed
8 Teaspoons of chicken bouillon
1/2 to 1 cup of HOT water (to dissolve bouillon)
4 pounds raw liver, processed until mush or chopped super fine
8 eggs, beaten
6 Teaspoons of garlic powder
7 cups of flour
4 cups oatmeal, ground to a fine crumble in a food processor
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare pans by lining 2 brownie pans with wax paper, cut to fit the bottom only. Place the wax paper in the pan & then spray the wax paper with a cooking spray. Set aside. Now dissolve the bouillon in the hot water and set aside. In a large bowl combine the liver, eggs, garlic powder and prepared bouillon. Stir this mixture until well blended. Add the flour and oatmeal to the wet mixture a little at a time. After the whole glop is thoroughly mixed, spread it out evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or till baked clear through to the center. Let the baked goodies cool in the pan a bit, then loosen the dough around the edges, turn the pan upside down onto a bread board, remove the wax paper, and cut into bait-sized squares. Then place the cookies into zip-lock storage bags and put them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. These cookies freeze very well. Note: By preparing the oatmeal this way it makes the cookies less crumbly.
